First on-screen crushes (when you were a kid/teen)

Haha maybe this is why 'Peter pan' doesn't seem like an insulting term when talking about men to me xD

I loved rufio soooo much haha.
And then I was spellbound by Jeremy sumpter as Pan.

Oh and honorable mention for Sam Huntington as mimi siku in jungle to jungle (if you know you know). Actually, adult Sam Huntington is still absolutely gorgeous.

Anyone else remember who their childhood onscreen crushes were?

I was going to say Jack Striker from the awful TV series Cover Up. But then pps mentioned Michael Praed in Robin of Sherwood so I'm now conflicted.

Tom felton is my biggest celeb crush now. Never felt that way about draco though haha.

I guess I liked arrogant arseholes when I was younger. A few years after the Draco crush, I fancied Edmund from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. He was a dick as well.

My sister fancied Mimi Siku, but then again the weirdo also fancied Beast from the animated Beauty and the Beast.

I do still like Tom. He seems a nice guy.

Jess Harper from Laramie. I think I might be able to put my hands on the 1962 Cowboy Calendar...or did I throw it out???

SummerLobelia · 18/08/2022 19:55

Athos from the Three Musketeers. Though to be fair it was probably Kiefer Sutherland in the movie.

Givemeallthegin8 · 18/08/2022 19:55

I was only thinking of this the other day!
when I was 12 I had a major crush on jake summers from California dreamin 🤣
It was the first time I felt that way about a boy!

Jeff was also an arrogant arsehole...worrying that 9 year old me liked that!

I think possibly the programme Vapeyvapevape mentioned is A Traveller in Time a bbc series in the late 70’s of a book by Alison Utterly. It is available on DVD. Greensleeves song I think features in it and maybe the boy you are referring to is the actor Simon Gipps Kent. Just a thought!

ShirleyJackson · 18/08/2022 20:05

I quite fancied Deverill out of The Haunting of Cassie Palmer, too.

And Rowan Atkinson in Blackadder II.

misslomi · 18/08/2022 20:08

Lister from Red Dwarf and Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park Grin

Vapeyvapevape · 18/08/2022 20:10

@Richardchamberlainrocks yes that's it ! Well remembered!
